Episode 21 - Adam Fulbright - North Georgia Technical College

In addition to the supply chain issues facing the USA, another challenge is attracting the younger generation to the manufacturing industry. Talking to us today is one of the leaders in technical education, Adam Fulbright. From rough beginnings, Adam worked his way up from one industry to the next, until he was inspired to give something back as a teacher. As Program Director of the North Georgia Technical College, he is certainly doing that, and we find out how in this episode. Tune in to learn what manufacturing leaders can do to make their workplaces more attractive to the youth, and why a jack of all trades program is so beneficial to prospective students. We hear the skills and areas that Adam’s program covers, and how he keeps it up to date with the latest technological innovations. From why he needs more time in the day to the mentors he learned the most from and the two books he would recommend, we get to know Adam personally. We also find out what students graduating from the North Georgia Technical College can expect in terms of pay, and how partnerships between manufacturing companies and the College are mutually beneficial.
